Fun Car Sighting of the Week

…at my hotel here in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, standing out among the rentals that festoon the parking lot: this Ferrari F355 GTS.

Wikipedia says the F355, last built in 1999, is “more common than other Ferraris,” and it’s not even the fastest car around—a base C6 Corvette should beat it to 60 by half a second.  Yet somehow, I find the appeal of the cavallino rampante to be undiminished by the car’s life among the hoi polloi.
